I have a followup in May for my first post radiation / ADT blood work.Thank You everyone!64yo at DXPSA Pre TX 4.92, nodule on r side,BX 12/17 - 5 of 14 cores positive G7(4+3) r mid & r baseBone Scan clearRALP 2/15/18Post surgical pathology G9 (4+5), pT3a pN0 + ECE, ?

Congratulations on successfully navigating the choppy waters Cap'n G!

Sooo, I'm curious... are you a Fla resident, snowbird, vacationer, or planning to retire here? My wife and I retired here 2-3 years ago and both got hit with cancer right away. But I love this place and don't miss the great white north at all. In fact, other than the summer heat here bring relentless, I remember our summers in the midwest being far more brutal. No way I would want to face driving thru ice and snow for our treatments!
